…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    I mostly use Linux but I dual-boot windows just for VR and every time I have to use windows it feels sluggish in comparison

        ALVR is so frustratingly close to working for me with the Quest 2 on Linux

        Some games actually work flawlessly with it for me now, but recently I wanted to get back into Into The Radius 2 since they updated it a lot, and because it only supports a specific VR framework that I can’t seem to get my system to use, the game itself doesn’t connect to my headset, so I had to boot back into windows for that

      i do the same thing but i think it’s kind of on us - when you only boot windows once in a while it tries to do a bunch of things (updates, scanning everything for more data on your advertisement profile, virus scan, etc) at the same time
      it was similar when i was running linux less frequently, i was annoyed like
      ugh again bunch of updates, kernel update as well ugh now i have to reboot too

        Yeah, it’s a little of both, but at least if I don’t use Linux for a while I don’t feel the same problem happening usually

        In my experience, if I don’t touch my gaming PC for a month or two and then go boot up Linux it means I just have a long update, but I can also opt to ignore it and deal with it later. On Windows, I don’t really have that choice as much, and updating is extra annoying because it reboots itself multiple times so I have to babysit it otherwise it boots back into Linux after a few seconds on the bootloader
